How did that name get decided? Whose life is now memorialized? The story of the names of places can represent a fascinating tale about the place where we live, yet often, know little about. We live in an area named Arlington Ridge, a topographic "finger" that points to Arlington House, the Lee mansion in Arlington Cemetery, through the area of the Pentagon. In the 1800's Anthony Fraser and James Roach owned the properties. Today, the following streets, clockwise from the north, bound the area: S. Joyce St, S. Glebe Road, and Army Navy Drive. Parts of the area have been known as: Green Valley, Club Manor Estates, Aurora Hills, Virginia Highlands, and Aurora Highlands. Most of the paved roadways in the immediate surroundings of South Nash Street are less than 100 years old. Though some roads date back to the Revolu­ tion, most have new names. 1 So, what is the name evolution on Arlington Ridge? The area was once part of the 1,000-acre estate of Anthony Fraser. The area was known as Green Valley, likely named for James Green, who lived on the land near the present location of the clubhouse at Army Navy Country Club.

  • Prospect Hill As Seen Before Demolition in 1965
    Courtesy of Arlington Historical Society The 1841 James Roach mansion on Prospect Hill as seen before demolition in 1965. 14 ARLINGTON HISTORICAL MAGAZINE Prospect Hill A Lost Arlington Historical Treasure BY SHERMAN w. PRATT In the 1960s, Arlington and Northern Virginia lost one of their most price­ less and unique historical assets with the rezoning and destruction of the ante­ bellum dwelling of early settler James Roach, standing majestically on Arling­ ton Ridge and overlooking the Capital City area. The dwelling dated from Arlington's early history after the Revolutionary War and the establishment of the Republic, when the area was still a part of the Capital City. In the late 1830s, Philip Roach, with his wife and two daughters and son James, arrived in Alexandria from his former home in Ireland. He immediately set about to find land upon which to establish a New World home for himself and his family. In due course, he focused on one of the most desirable and attractive pieces of real estate in Northern Virginia. The site was well elevated, located about a mile from the Potomac River, and today comprises approximately the northern portion of Arlington Ridge, parts of Crystal City, and Pentagon City and their nearby environs. The land was part of the 1669 original patent 1 of ship captain Robert Howson that was purchased by John Alexander, passed to his son Philip, and even­ tQally conveyed in 1811 to William Henry Washington. It was taken over· by the Bank of the United States in 1836, and then purchased by James Roach on June 29, 1837.2 The senior Roach died on June 9, 1838 at the age of 50, and James, still then residing in Alexandria, promptly looked around for a proper lo­ cation on which to build his home on his new property.
